Vehicle Fuel Comparison.

[darkreeco6]

Anyone know if some vehicles drain fuel faster than others or they all suppose drain at the same rate? Cause i feel like some run out way faster.

Each vehicle was unique stats for total condition, fuel tank, and fuel economy

Darkreeco6, yes indeed as the Dev gumbydust mentioned. I found a van, which I love has a ton of storage, and 5 weapon slots. But after driving around a bit I noticed traveling just a few grid squares would almost deplete the fuel tank.

I then came across a very cool camo army jeep that I love, and it hardly uses any fuel. Been driving it for quick runs.

Best fuel economy, Bicycle hint hint :D

Ahh, ty

fuel consumption in this game is ridiculously OP a full tank in a mini van runs empty after a few kilometres/miles. The APC requires upwards of 10 repair kits and 10 plus fuel jerries just to get it out of the red line and it chews thru fuel. The bio diesel refinery is poor, you finally find all the ingredients to make a jerry that says 100% but when you remove it from the refinery/purifier it barely fills the vehicles and still says half empty on the can. I understand this is still in early access, hopefully it gets fixed or balanced more. Grinding for fuel even on the higher loot abundance is tedious and kills the immersion.

Yea i agree we have the camper/van and a couple more vehicles but almost feel forced into driving the police jeep because the others are just way to bad on fuel drain. Pretty much defeats the purpose of trying to use them it feels like more of a burden trying to use them than a gain, Definently tedious we just fixed them up and parked them at the base, Granted we have alot of gas but not trying to blow through it driving the van for 2min lol so the only use we get out of our other vehicles is parked storage space lol.

This is def something that we can balance

That would be amazing! Will be nice to actually be able to drive what i want and not feel forced into the jeep.

i spent a day trying to find some kind of info about fuel efficiency of each car in game and nope ... nothing .... can we have some info about it ? Atm having hard time enjoying game when all the time i search for some car who spends less fuel ..... and doing comparison with not much success xD Give us some info that we know for fact or just reduce fuel consumption considerably....

(oh yeah and make that damn loot on groud despawn after some time plsssssssssss ffs )

Levy F10 and Edmon Pact have the best, APC has the worst

I agree about despawning ground loot to a point... but how to separate the ground loot from other ground items that randomly spawn... or items you drop inside your shelter on the floor because you don't have enough storage boxes? Gotta be careful with how it's implemented.

I haven't had an issue, but with all the sliders you've given us, maybe a few more regarding vehicles would be easier than balance. :)
